Orange-tinged pale colour. A powerful nose of light dried fruit, morello cherry, roasted coffee and caramel. Medium bodied, good balance between the alcohol and tannins with fig and raisin flavours. A very good enjoyable long finish.
The explosion of fruit and the uniqueness of the style justify the extraordinary marriage with desserts rich in chocolate, such as chocolate fondants with blackcurrant sauce or a dark chocolate mousse. Blue or hard cheeses, such as “Serra da Estrela”, are also an excellent combination.
Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas from the films, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baume degree. In this phase, the wine brandy (benefit) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. Vintage Port is a high quality wine, with a unique style and character, from a single year considered exceptional, bottled between the second and third year after harvest. It is a wine originally red, complex, full-bodied, with remarkable aging potential.
